When Students Lead, Prevention Works Webinar
|
|
|
|
From the largest school districts in the U.S. to regional public health organizations, thank you to everyone who joined us to discuss the future of peer-led prevention last week during our webinar!
We know that peer-led learning isn’t just an innovative concept; it’s backed by substantial research. After two years of co-developing and piloting our CATCH My Breath 'Students-Teach-Students' model with Eastern Idaho Public Health, our own results echo that research.
If empowering your high school students to lead peer prevention sounds like a strategy you'd like to explore, dive into our webinar recording and accompanying resources to get started.

Integrate Substance Misuse in Your Prevention Efforts |
|
|
|
|
Expanding your prevention strategy to include substance misuse education shouldn't be a separate initiative. It's a foundational step that protects your students' mental and physical health before a crisis occurs. |
Our K-12 Substance Misuse Prevention digital curriculum and professional development focus on building skills for healthy decision-making, positive relationships, and effective communication. |
Ready to get started? Our curriculum and professional development can be purchased individually for $99 each. With three training dates planned this summer, you can easily prepare your staff to kick off the new school year strong. |
